National Style 3 Tricone Squareneck 1929 (Consignment)

Here’s an excellent-condition National Style 1 Tricone Squareneck from 1929. This is an early example of a production resophonic guitar – the first production took place in 1927. The resophonic instrument was invented in 1925 by John Dopyera at the request of George Beauchamp. Beauchamp was a promoter who found that as venues and audiences grew, so did volume levels and as amplification hadn’t been invented, many instruments were just not loud enough. The reso-phonic design is much louder.

Fender Jazz Bass 1966 – Fretless Conversion (consignment)

Fender Jazz Bass 1966 - Fretless Conversion (consignment)

Here’s a lovely Fender Jazz Bass from 1966, converted to fretless in 1985 by Joe Kovacic at Lado Guitars. This instrument has definitely been used as was intended, with the honest wear that implies.As people discovered the potential of the fretless sound – Pastorius in Weather Report probably had a lot to do with that – fretless conversions became popular for a few extra reasons. The conversion is fairly quick to do, not exceptionally expensive, and is usually reversible. The frets are removed, veneer is glued into the slots, the board is planed level and the action set low. The Twelfth Fret’s repair shop has done many of these conversions, in both directions.
